This is a page that you got when you got this instructional sheet. You fill out the sheet and turn it in to the teacher at the time of your oral report.
ORAL PRESENTATION (20 POINTS):
YOU MUST do your presentation on the assigned day. If for some unforseen reason you can’t you must give the teacher notice ONE WEEK in advance of your presentation. If you get sick, you must call the teacher BEFORE your class period begins. Otherwise, you will be marked “late” on your presentation and given 1/2 credit. YOU CAN USE NOTES FOR YOUR ORAL PRESENTATION, IF YOU WANT.
NOTES FOR CLASSMATES (20 POINTS):
You will make a page of notes for the members of your class. This page should include:
THIS IS A LIST OF FACTS! DO NOT CUT AND PASTE PARAGRAPHS FROM WEBSITES! IT’S A PAGE OF NOTES!
Facts about the designer (date of birth, etc)
List of places the designer has worked, or schooling they have had to prepare them as a designer
A picture of the designer
A copy of the designer’s logo(s)
You need to make enough copies (at your own expense) for the entire class. Number in class:______
**If you do not want to pay for the copies of your notes to hand out to the class, the teacher will make them for you IF you get the original copy to her one B-day ahead!! For example, if your report is due on Thursday, you have to get your original to her by Tues and she’ll have them for you the day you do your presentation. Otherwise, you are on your own to get the copies.
You will collect the notes all term and put them in a notebook. You are responsible to keep track of the notes all term. There may be periodic checks to see if you have them. You will turn the notebook in at the end of the term as an assignment. By the end of the year, you will have notes on almost 100 fashion designers.
Sources of information on fashion designers:
Several textbooks we have in class
Numerous books and files the teacher has
The internet (The school’s webpage has links to some great sights)
The media center
The teacher is willing to help you find information on your designer and will allow you to make copies of articles, pictures, etc. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE YOUR DESIGNER IS DUE!!! THE TEACHER MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU THEN!!! If you wait until the last minute, you may not get the help you need. Be sure to ask at least a couple of weeks ahead to get help.
EXTRA CREDIT (UP TO 25 POINTS)
You can get extra credit by writing and presenting a Power Point Presentation as part of your presentation on your designer. It should contain similar information and pictures as your notebook page, report, and notes given to the class. You will need to bring your presentation (Power Point) on a disc with you the day of your presentation. The teacher has Power Point on her computer and has a projector to show it.
